He also knew that if there was one place on a basketball court where his height and weight didn’t matter, it was the free-throw line. No one is allowed to guard you there. No one can stop you from hitting every shot you take. The free-throw line doesn’t care who you are. It’s just you, the ball, and the rim, fifteen feet away, ten feet in the air. In a sport with so much movement, it is the one time everything is the same, from grade school basketball to here in the NBA Finals. It’s the one time the game stands still—but the pressure is still impossible to ignore.

He and Dell spent the summer before his sophomore year reworking his jumper from the inside out with a seemingly endless regimen of drills. Consequently, Stephen struggled in summer basketball camps.

Instead, LeBron raised his level of play and Cleveland took two of the first three games. To make matters worse, Steph, the best player in the league that season, was in a slump. His usually reliable shot was off. At the end of the Game 2 loss, he shot just two of fifteen from three-point range. He even tossed up an air ball, missing the rim altogether. “Shots I normally make … I knew as soon as they left my hand that they were off,” Steph explained. “That doesn’t usually happen.” Travel issues for the Warriors getting to Madison Square Garden only heightened the drama. After Golden State edged the Indiana Pacers on Monday to avoid consecutive losses for the first time all season, Kerr and a few players took care of postgame interviews. Fast forward to Thursday night, when an exhausted, overwhelmed, and relieved Stephen tearfully embraced his father in the final moments of Game 6. But while Stephen's Hall of Fame career outshines Dell's 16-year tenure, the humble, role-playing father was very much his basketball inspiration. Curry has said that once he breaks the record, everything else would “just be about how far can you push it.”SARAH VINE: Royal biographer Omid Scobie may be a leech... but the treachery of Harry was so much worse

Everything rested on the slim shoulders of Steph Curry, who had been fouled and awarded two free throws. If he missed one or both of the shots from the line, Cleveland still had a chance. If he hit them, Golden State was almost assuredly going to win.Steph, who had grown up watching Dell play from the sidelines, has shared these sorts of embraces before, both as the supportive son and later as an NBA champion.

Kerr even admitted that perhaps Curry’s story transcends sports, pointing out the point guard “changed the way the game is played,” not to mention “the way that young players think about the game.” With Steph Curry becoming the all-time leader in 3-pointers made, take a look at record's progression since the 1979-80 season. PLAYERIt’s definitely a story that rings true to a lot of people who aren’t huge basketball fans,” Kerr said. “Steph appeals to everyone, not just hardcore fans who are looking at his 3-point percentage. I think fans are attracted to him just because of his humility, his story and how hard he’s had to work. So, from that standpoint, it transcends sports somewhat. It was when Steph was at Davidson that Dell first realized his son's potential: 'He was a good shooter. But when he started shooting against the best in the world, that's when I knew, ''Oh, okay.''' He had scored a team-high 34 points and was on the verge of his first Finals MVP award after the 103-90 Game 6 victory; but even with every camera at Boston's TD Garden fixated on the future Hall of Famer, Curry found a way to escape the madness for a brief moment.
